This book covers the wide set of well-regulated virulence factors
and defense mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa focusing on stress
responses and the evolution of this opportunistic human pathogen.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for one out of ten hospital
infections. Additionally, this Gram-negative bacterium is
accountable for persistent infections in immunocompromised
individuals and the leading cause of chronic lung infections in
cystic fibrosis patients. This book provides insight on the
metabolic versatility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its mechanisms
for biofilm formation that make this organism highly efficient in
causing infections. The book invites the readers to learn more
about the intrinsic ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to resist a
wide variety of antimicrobial agents due to the concerted action of
multidrug efflux pumps, antibiotic-degrading enzymes, and the low
permeability of bacterial cellular envelopes. Particular focus is
put on the evolutionary role of different types of
protein-secretion systems in pathogenesis, flagella and their role
in chemotaxis and surface sensing, and host-pathogen interactions.
This book is a useful introduction to the field for junior
scientists interested in the biology and pathogenesis of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also an interesting read for advanced
scientists and medical specialists working within this field,
providing a broader view of the topic beyond their specific area of
specialization.
